From the Very First Glimpse — to This Moment. Iana Banana | Toronto Maternity, Newborn & Family Photographer

There are sessions that stay with you long after you pack away the camera. This one with Abby is exactly that.

Watching her gently hold her ultrasound photo felt like stepping into the beginning of a beautiful story — a quiet reminder of how extraordinary these early chapters of life truly are.
It’s incredible how a tiny printed image can hold so much hope, excitement, and love. In just a few months, everything will change… but this small moment will always mark the start.

I loved capturing the softness in her eyes, the way she automatically rested her hands around her belly, and the mix of anticipation and tenderness that only an expecting mother carries. There’s something almost magical in the way time stands still during these sessions — just a mom, a dream, and the new little soul she’s waiting to meet.

As her journey continues, this photograph becomes more than just a picture. It becomes a memory of the very first connection — before tiny toes, before first cuddles, before late-night feedings and baby giggles.
Just the beginning… and what a beautiful beginning it is.
